Adam Bechtel
Founder & CEO
Adam (BS ’12, Industrial Management) oversees daily operations of the company’s three branches, and is behind the original vision for Crisp Painting. While in school, Adam realized the lean production principles he was learning about could be applied to the painting industry. Being a seasonal business, Adam’s vision was to spend the off-season developing equipment that could allow his team to operate more efficiently. In turn, this equipment would allow him to do a better job and charge a lower rate than the competition, helping the company grow faster. So far his strategy has paid off.
